MHAA celebrates The International Year of Astronomy
The International Year of Astronomy 2009 is a global effort initiated by the International Astronomical Union and UNESCO to help the citizens of the world rediscover their place in the Universe through the day and night-time sky, and thereby engage a personal sense of wonder and discovery.
To help celebrate the International Year of Astronomy the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association, with the cooperation of the Elting Memorial Library in New Paltz, is presenting a monthly astronomy speaker series. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm, with the speakers starting at 8:00pm. Weather permitting telescopes will be set up on the patio after the meeting for Sidewalk Astronomy (viewing bright objects such as the moon, planets, and star clusters).
Please note our new meeting place, The Elting Memorial Library.
These events are free and open to the public and the programs are geared towards a general audience.
